Hi folks!

You guys must have heard this question a million times before (and I think that I've even asked it before ) but...here it comes again.

Is it impossible to learn to play the bagpipe without a bagpipe instructor?

I really, really want to learn to play the bagpipe but as you might have guessed, there aren't alot of bagpipe instructors in Iceland.
I play the classical guitar and have been taking guitar lessons for about 6 years now so learning the notes might not be a problem for me, and I did play the flute for two years, could that maybe be of any help?

If you guys DO think it could be possible to learn to play the bagpipe on your own, could you perhaps point out a good practice chanter starting kit?

Thanks in advance,
Gunnar.
